Why do my pictures look all washed out once I upload them?

It could be a colorspace issue. Your 30D probably takes pictures in something like Adobe RGB but most internet sites use sRGB. Try making sure the pictures you upload are in sRGB. I asked this question once here:

Yeah make sure you convert the pictures profile to sRGB or they won't look good on the web.

yep. make sure you convert to sRGB if it isn't already that. anything that doesn't see or can't see color space information will generally assume that it's sRGB and treat it as such.

it doesn't look like there's color space info in your exif like there is in mine. is some software that you're using stripping exif data from your files?
